Collezione 100 is a commemorative motorcycle collection created by Ducati to mark the company's 100th anniversary. The range features ten heritage-inspired liveries applied across ten different motorcycle models, with each version limited to 100 units. Drawing from key moments in Ducati's history, the collection references both historic and contemporary motorcycles through dedicated graphics, color palettes, and model-specific details. Each edition incorporates commemorative elements including an embroidered Ducati 100 logo on the seat and accents finished in the brand's Bronzo Centenario color.
The collection includes designs inspired by motorcycles such as the 750 Imola Desmo, 750 Super Sport Desmo, 250 Scrambler, and Monster, alongside anniversary editions of current models including the Streetfighter V4 S, XDiavel V4, Diavel V4 RS, Multistrada V4 RS, and Hypermotard V2 SP. Ducati presented the collection at Mugello Circuit in Italy with a display that also included matching helmets, jackets, and commemorative artwork by Ugo Nespolo.
